CGLEF379GSB Frigidaire Range - Instructions

I am a DIY kind of wife. My husband works late most nights and I get home in the afternoon. It was really quit simple except for the element plug slipped into the back of the stove. So I had to pull the stove out from the wall and take a couple of screws out of the back and push the plug back through. It was scarry for a minute but it all ended up just fine and we had a wonderful dinner that night.

When the part arrived, I open the box. Cut off my breaker to the range. Pulled back the stove and unscrewed the back. Located the probe, unscrewed the one screw that held it in. I then unclamped the white connectors, remove the old probe, replaced it with the new one reclamped the connectors. Screwed it back into the range. Replaced the back and screwed that back together. It was so easy I was very proud of my self. I cut the breaker back on and cooked a can of biscuits just to see if it really worked. And it did. My bread was not burned, it was cooked to perfection.

Watched the repair video on your web site. Used the video as a step by step guide in the actual repair.

Quite easy: Removed the two hex head screws with a 1/4 inch nut driver. Gently pulled the old element out of the rear of the range with the connectors still attached. Next I disconnected the connectors from the element and attached a small "paper binder" clip to each of the connector wires to keep the connectors from pulling back through the "Hole". Lastly, I connected the two connectors to the new element (released the clips) and gently pushed the unit back into place and re-secured the hex screws. ALL DONE! Very very easy....

repair was exceptionally easy. Did not need the fiberglass tape that was mentioned in online repair steps. Just slipped the wires off and then back on the new element. Any 70 year old can do.

Replaced the entire element which has both a large and a small heated element.

1. Removed 2 screws holding the cooktop. Located on front of cooktop after opening oven door.
2. Raised cooktop
3. Unscrewed the long bracket holding the 2 front burners 4. unscrewed the burner element from bracket.
5. Wrote down the wiring, removed the wiring with pliers.
6. Removed the spring clips holding the burner element to the bracket with pliers.
7. Unscrewed/removed spring clips from old element
8. Install reverse of removal.

The only thing I should have done was to mark which holes the spring clips were originally were in on the long bracket. It ended up OK, but it would have been faster if I didn't have to double-check the positioning of the burner.

Husband very ill in bed. It's up to me!! Got a new bulb at HomeDepot and figured out how to get that wire 'thing' back in and the new glass cover installed. I DID IT!! WOW! My husband has always done these jobs around the house.......but now it's up to me.......and I'm not so dumb after all! I DID IT!! Now everyone who comes in the house.....I show them what I DID!! :-)

moved the range out to access back
removed 5 screws from back panel
removed 1 screw from thermostat installed new one
replaced screws, done in 20 minutes
problem solved

I followed the video on the website. The probe is on back of the oven. Just unplug part and replace. That was not our fix all though as I later found that the igniter was not working. The igniter is also an easy fix but you access it through the front of the oven. Also an easy swap.

Oven is working great now.

Our issues kind of fell between two of the descriptions so I went with high percentage cheaper fix first.

If your oven is intermittingly getting hot or to temperature of 100, it is probably the igniter.

Have used PartsSelect for Washing Machine, Dryer, Refridgerator and now the Range. Super easy to figure out needed parts and videos walk you through the repair.

Thanks

Remove screws from back of oven after unplugging oven. disconnect wires from element by sliding of element. Remove screws holding element inside oven and slide element out. Replace element by doing everything in reverse. 20 minutes tops.

Very simple repair.. repair guy said if it was the control board to buy a new oven. Searched for the part found it here for under 200$ shipped.

The actual repair consists of 6 screws outside, 4 holding the control board in place, and few wires in a harness. To make swapping easier, took a picture of where wires connected, they are color coded.

Went well, and working thank you ??

turned power off at fuse box took of back panel about8-10 nuts unhooked wires with pliers that went to element then took2 nuts out that held element up and 2nuts holding element took out and put new one in works great

After a brief discussion with CS about the electric stove part was shipped it arrived and I proceeded to install I found it needed to be installed sideways not up & down like the old one. The terminals did not line up so I put the black lead first and the purple lead last in doing that I burned out the switch??? was not easy to install as the video showed his switch matched each wire? My installation was sideways??

Used instruction video & replaced part.
